Kamala Harris's Campaign Funds

  • Kamala Harris has an advantage in fundraising due to her position as Vice President and her role on the Biden campaign committee.
  • Under FEC rules, if Harris becomes the nominee, the funds from Biden's campaign are readily accessible to her because it's considered the same campaign.
  • If someone else were the nominee, accessing the funds would be more complex, potentially involving creating a super PAC.
  • Direct control over campaign funds is more advantageous due to better advertising and spending rates compared to outside groups.
